Abstract
This invention discloses a method and related device for bird identification and tracking on power transmission lines, belonging to the field of power system transmission line inspection and maintenance technology. The method addresses the need for online identification and continuous tracking of bird risks on transmission lines, constructing an integrated technical route encompassing multispectral acquisition and registration fusion, bird detection, and multi-target tracking. It mainly includes three design stages: the first stage involves calibration, registration, and fusion based on simultaneous acquisition of visible and infrared light to obtain stable input suitable for complex lighting and meteorological conditions; the second stage uses YOLOv11 to achieve multi-scale detection and robust localization of bird targets, and suppresses false detections through threshold screening and key area constraints; the third stage introduces DeepSORT for cross-frame association and tracking management, outputting bird movement sequences.
